Spike on that list would create much discussion, I should think. Hm...

It says favorite "pop culture" vampire. Is Angel a pop culture vampire? I am stuck as to how to vote. If it's pop culture they want, I'd almost have to go with Count Chokula or The Count from Sesame Street.

OK, before you call me a bad Buffy fan, I voted for Angel. The poll is for *favorite vampire* period. Not *favorite vampire I lust after right now* so I voted for Angel. Bill and I just met, and I don't *favorite* on the first date.

See, I think it would have been bad if Spike AND Angel had been on the list. Whedon fans would have been split, and one of them would have Ralph-Nadered the vampire election! Even though I think Spike is MUCH cooler than Angel (though Angel is awesome in his own right), I'd much rather have a Buffyverse vampire win than that Twilight dork. Also, what about the sexy female vamps?

What's with calling him "David B. in 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'" on that list? They could have gotten in his whole name if they had gone with the title of the show, "Angel," that he actually starred in for five years, rather that BtVS, where Angel was only a supporting character for two and a half years (since he was only recurring in Season 1, not a regular) out of its seven year run. Why do so many of these articles and interviews forget that "Angel" was a series? AtS was fantastic, and equally as deserving to be remembered as its parent show, and as a character, Angel on AtS was naturally more fleshed-out than Angel on BtVS. It's like calling Sherman Hemsley "George Jefferson from 'All In The Family,'" rather than mentioning "The Jeffersons." It just always gripes me when they don't give Boreanaz credit for being the lead of his own show.

But why did they have to put him up against Count Von Count and Count Chocula? Angel might be a fantastic (and sexy) character, but the Count is quality edutainment and Count Chocula has nummy little marshmallows. Decisions, decisions.

Since my favourite (blond, snarky) vampire wasn't on the list, I voted for Angel (whom I also love). He's my favourite on the list. Nick Knight might have given him a run for his money, and have to admit I am getting rather fond of Bill.

Haha, at least the Buffy fans are outnumbering the Twilight fans. To be fair, I've never read any of the Twilight books, but I've heard almost nothing but bad things about them. Even my friend who likes them says they're not good.

I think it's fair to say BtVS is a bigger part of pop-culture than Ats, I may lament that fact but fact it be I reckon hence mentioning him on there (i've also seen people express a preference for how DB looked on BtVS as opposed to Ats, so maybe they picked that Angel deliberately ?).

UnpluggedCrazy I've heard nothing but bad about the Twilight books, too. (Sparkly vampires? PUH-LEEZE!) But for some reason, they're nauseatingly popular. I have a friend who read them as what she considered an almost perfect example of truly BAD writing. She said the heroine is so dumb and spineless she makes season 1 Willow seem like a model of strength and self-confidence.

Saje, but it says "David B. in Buffy the Vampire Slayer", not "David B. in Angel".

And what's with the mixing of actors and characters names? First of all, are we voting for the vampires or the actors? Because as far as I know, the actors aren't vampires, though not quite positive about Snipes.

Bill Compton and Eric Northman are starting to shake my Angel/Spike applecart ... I don't think they'll fall completely off but it is interesting that this show is coming anywhere close to inspiring half the interest I had in Buffy and Angel.
